WHAT IS A CIRCLE?
CIRCLE

A closed two-dimensional figure in which

the set of all the points in the plane is
equidistant from a given point called
center.

The circle is the simplest and best known

conic section. As a conic section, the
circle is the intersection of a plane
perpendicular to the cone's axis.

 Parts of a Circle

The center of a circle is the fixed The diameter is the distance

equidistance point of the circle. through the center of an object
from one side to the other.
The radius of a circle is the A tangent is a line in the same
fixed equidistance length of plane as the circle that intersects
the circle at exactly one point
 Standard Form

The standard equation of

2 2
a circle gives precise
information about the (x – h) + (y – k) = r
center of the circle and its
radius and therefore, it is center radius
much easier to read the
center and the radius of
the circle at a glance.
 General Form

This general form is used

to find the coordinates of
the center of the circle x + y + 2Ax + 2By+C = 0
2 2

and the radius, where A, B,

C are constants.
Let's Practice!
 Example 1
Finding the center and the radius
2 2

Name the center and the radius of

(x – 2) + (y – 3) = 16
this circle, (x + 2) + (y - 3) = 16
2 2 center
r = 16
2
C= (2, 3)
r= 4
 Example 2
Standard form to General form
2 2
(x – 14) + (y + 2) = 4
What is the general form of the (x – 14)(x - 14) + (y + 2)(y + 2) = 4
equation (x - 14) + (y + 2) = 4
2 2

x – 14x - 14x + 196 + y + 2y + 2y +4 - 4 = 0

2 2

x + y -28x + 4y + 196 = 0
2 2
 Example 3
General form to Standard form
x + y -6x +8y = -24
2 2

What is the standard form of the

equation x + y - 6x + 8y + 24=0
2 2 (x -6x) + (y +8y) = -24
2 2

(x -6x +9) + (y +8y + 16) = -24 +9 +16

2 2

2 2
(x -3) + (y +4) = 1
